Orland Park Bank & Trust, a branch of Old Plank Trail Community Bank, believes in community outreach on a variety of levels and recognizes needs within the community. With this mission in mind, Paul Slade, Chairman & CEO, Orland Park Bank & Trust, recently presented the Orland Township Food Pantry with a $1,000.00 check. The check was accepted by Marianne Hill, Director, and Paul O’Grady, Supervisor, of Orland Township Food Pantry.

The donation will help over 300 families and up to 700 individuals receive food baskets. Orland Township is dependent upon local churches, schools, organizations, area businesses, and individuals for its food and other items. Each year, financing is raised through special fund-raising efforts, state/federal grants, and its membership with the Greater Chicago Food Depository.

Low income families or individuals who reside in Orland Park and meet the Illinois Department of Human Services guidelines may participate in the food pantry program. Qualified clients may also receive food assistance once every 30 days with evidence of a current valid residence for each pantry visit and must sign an affidavit of their statement.

“We are delighted to utilize our resources through generous donations to help our communities prosper,” said Paul Slade, Chairman & CEO, Orland Park Bank & Trust. “The Orland Township Food Pantry donation will ensure that many families and individuals receive assistance just in time for the holidays.”
